Ummm... Confession. bai, me and my colleagues were betting on the fact nga gamay sila mo sweldo. This isn't just a single company bet. This was a NATIONWIDE bet with 6 acquainted participants. 2 from Cebu and 4 from Manila. One was a foreigner that we just made up just to prove dunay colonial mentality ana nga company. (this is part of the factor in choosing a company as well. Kanang dili KISS-ASS ug Amerikano) We went through the entire recruitment process with ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of working for them. We just wanted to put the bet in motion.

The results?

I was one of those who got hired. Ang sweldo mo net ra ug 1k ra gidagdag sa akong current sweldo. Dili pa dagdag. But I lost this bet coz expecting ko dako. Nakabangka nuon ko ug usa ka case sa redhorse. toink! LOL.

The fictional American applicant was, in fact, the first to be called. Nagkatawa lang mi sa kabuang ani nila. This was the first bet that was satisfied. I won this one. Basta kasagaran pinoy nga company tila gyud sa lubot dayon basta foreigner. Told them "You can't afford me." then hung up. Nagemail pa nga "we really need your skills". Replied to them "there are other filipino colleagues with far better skills than I have and you can't even pay them a decent salary." :P

nice analogy.....I had a bad experience with their recruitment process sa Ayala earlier this year....d sila "equal opportunity employer"....heheheheh....

interviewed last October ... d cla ka afford... and I got another call from Accenture this weekend, if I am daw interested.. I asked "what do you have to offer?" blah here, blah there... then I told him "with my 16 years of experience, I will not work for less than 80k" hello?...silence... hello? .... ToooT... Tooot... Toootoot...

I just wish the conversation was recorded... nigara pod na sila da, nagtuo ma dala ra ta og char char sa ilang "ma offer"... ilang usual offer is 3-5k sa imong current rate.

The question still stands as to why it was not disclosed to applicants that Accenture is the new name after the legal battle of Andersen Computing/Consulting or whatever their name was.

This may be crazy advice but always put your mindset in the thought that you work like you have nothing to lose. Tutal, expendable man ta there's no reason why we shouldn't look at them the same. And when push comes to shove all their good intentions disappear when it comes to deciding in letting the company float or letting you go.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious naman siguro bati ug feedback ang Accenture for veteran IT professionals. Let's just treat it as a symbol nalang that the IT industry is now investing in Cebu even though it doesn't necessarily mean that these "big names" are ideal places to work. Just like a product, the first generation of companies will always suck. The ones that come later will have something better to offer. So if patient mo paabot lang ta nga naai nindot maabot.
